For junk removal crews
How do junk removal crews get jobs from local groups?
Cleanouts, estate dumps, and 'this couch has to go today' posts show up in neighborhood groups all week. Homeowners want a truck and a crew, not a quote in three days. SpotTheJob sends matching junk removal posts by email or text about ten minutes after they go up.
The closing is Friday. The sectional is blocking the garage. They post in the group because they want someone with a truck today.
Junk jobs are speed jobs
If you can offer a window this week, you are in the conversation. If you find the post on Monday after it went up Saturday, they already booked someone.
The hauls add up
Angi puts typical junk removal around $241, with most jobs between $60 and $700. A full truckload runs $600 to $800.
You answer first with a real window
Flat monthly in the hundreds, not thousands. Free trial, no credit card. We do not charge per couch. This is not a pay-per-lead mill.
Reaching a lead in 5 minutes versus 30 makes contact about 100x more likely. MIT, 2007

What a junk removal alert looks like
Cleanouts and haul-aways, the way they land.
“Basement cleanout before we close next week. Old furniture, boxes, a broken treadmill. Need a junk crew that can take it all in one trip.”
“Sectional sofa and an old treadmill, second floor. Looking for junk removal that can do stairs. Want it gone this weekend.”
“DIY deck leftover lumber and debris in the backyard. Need it hauled off this week.”
What we send, and what we drop
You get the post
- Furniture, appliances, cleanouts, and debris you actually haul
- Towns on your route
- Posts still new enough that you can offer a same-week window
It never leaves the filter
- People advertising their own hauling company
- Jobs outside your coverage

What you do when it hits
Reply on the thread and DM if you can. Say you have a truck, whether stairs are okay, and the next window you can load. Junk homeowners hire the crew that can come, not the one asking for photos for three days.
The job alert includes a suggested reply. You still post it on the thread.
Are junk removal group posts usually same-week jobs?
Often yes. Closings, move-outs, and 'this couch has to go' posts are timed. That is why a ten-minute alert matters. If you can offer a window this week, you are in the conversation. If you find the post on Monday after it went up Saturday, they already booked someone.
Do I pay per junk lead?
No. Flat monthly subscription in the hundreds, not thousands, for matching jobs we find. Free trial. We do not charge per haul. This is not a marketplace.
Other trades we send
- LandscapingWeekly mows and cleanups in season, plus snow removal when the lawn work slows down. Homeowners asking neighbors, not filling out a form.
- RoofingStorm leaks, missing shingles, and replacement quotes from homeowners who posted in the group before they called three roofing mill leads.
- PlumbingEmergency leaks, water heaters, and backups posted by homeowners who need someone today, not a form that emails six other plumbers.
